RE: [APD] Killer yeast?

["Ruddy Douglass" <ruddy at maine_rr.com>]

I can testify to that.  Had a huge mess in my 12 gallon, took me nearly a
week to get the water all cleared - with 50-75% water changes daily, the
stench was unimaginable and the water was so cloudy you could barely see
into the tank.  But not a single fish or plant suffered from the mess...

very unlikely.  Several people have had BIG yeast accidents,
where a large amount of the contents of the yeast bottle got
pulled back into the tank.  They got extremely cloudy water,
and lots of "stuff" in the water.   In most cases, a couple
water changes, and the cloudyness goes away in a day or so,
and no fish loss.  I'm sure that if the yeast were deadly,
anyone that had even a minor yeast accident would have big
fish loss.
